This machine is equipped with an accumulator. Even after the engine stops, the work equipment control levers
can be operated for a short time in the LOWER direction to allow the work equipment to go down under its own
weight.
After stopping the engine, set the lock lever to the LOCK position.
The accumulator and gas spring are charged with high-pressure nitrogen gas. If the accumulator or gas spring is
handled mistakenly, it may cause an explosion that could lead to serious personal injury or death. Always observe
the following.

q Do not bring it near flame or dispose of it in fire.
q Do not make holes in it, weld it, or use a cutting torch.

must be released. Ask your Komatsu distributor to perform
this work.
